Why Gautam Adani celebrates three birthdays every year

Gautam Madani, 1, of Indias most prominent business figures, observes not one but 3 birthdays every year. Behind this unique tradition lies a story of survival and gratitude. Let's break it down. Born on June 24, 1962, in Ahmedabad, Gautam Adani grew up in a middle class Jain family. After a brief stint in college, he moved to Mumbai, gaining valuable experience in the diamond rate. In 1988, he founded the Adani Group, starting with the commodity trading and expanding it into a global empire spanning energy, logistics and infrastructure. On New Year's Day 1998 got the Madani and an associate were kidnapped at gunpoint outside Ahmedabads Karnavati Club. They were held overnight and released the next day after a ransom was paid. The incident became a significant date in Adanis life, serving as a reminder of a narrow escape. Ten years later, during the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, Gautam Madani was dining at the Taj Mahal Palace trap for us. Amid the kiosk, he remained calm, helping those around him stay composed. He eventually emerged unscathed. November 26 became another significant date in his life, marking yet another narrow escape. For Gautam Madani, these three dates marks significant turning points in his life, moments that shaped his perspective and reminded him of the unpredictability of life.
